All you needed back then was a blow dryer and a dream.

I came out the box and for seven years I had a huge career. And then it's done, it's dumped. But I ain't gone, and I refuse to be gone.

My first tour I was on the road for 18 months. You're just out there promoting.

But once you strip that down, you realize it's all about a voice, like a Norah Jones - that's inspiring to me.

If anything changes shape or takes off without me, I'll come after you and kill you. I'm too type A.

I just try to get out of my own way because if anyone is their own worst enemy, it's usually you.
